Question

Boethius defends the possibility of this property by analogizing God’s timelessness to the view from a mountain. Molinism holds that this (20[1])property is possible because God has “middle knowledge” of (20[1])counterfactuals. A theodicy named for this (20[1])property (20[1])argues that agents (20[1])with this property (20[1])are the source (20[1])of evil, (20[2])not God. (20[4])Harry Frankfurt’s cases are (20[2])counterexamples (20[1])to the P·A·P, (20[2])which states that a strong conception of this property is necessary for moral (*) responsibility. (10[3])Theological fatalism argues that humans lack this (10[1])property (10[2])due to God’s infallible (10[1])foreknowledge of our future. (10[2])Compatibilism (10[3])holds that determinism can coexist with this property. For 10 points, name this property of being able to choose one’s actions. ■END■ (10[6])

ANSWER: free will [accept freedom of the will; accept libertarian free will or compatibilist free will]
